Overview

Recommends the use of inclusive language instead of problematic terms. The cop can check the following locations for offenses:

  • identifiers

  • constants

  • variables

  • strings

  • symbols

  • comments

  • file paths

Each of these locations can be individually enabled/disabled via configuration, for example CheckIdentifiers = true/false.

Flagged terms are configurable for the cop. For each flagged term an optional Regex can be specified to identify offenses. Suggestions for replacing a flagged term can be configured and will be displayed as part of the offense message. An AllowedRegex can be specified for a flagged term to exempt allowed uses of the term. WholeWord: true can be set on a flagged term to indicate the cop should only match when a term matches the whole word (partial matches will not be offenses).

The cop supports autocorrection when there is only one suggestion. When there are multiple suggestions, the best suggestion cannot be identified and will not be autocorrected.

Examples:

FlaggedTerms: { whitelist: { Suggestions: ['allowlist'] } }

# Suggest replacing identifier whitelist with allowlist

# bad
whitelist_users = %w(user1 user1)

# good
allowlist_users = %w(user1 user2)

FlaggedTerms: { master: { Suggestions: ['main', 'primary', 'leader'] } }

# Suggest replacing master in an instance variable name with main, primary, or leader

# bad
@master_node = 'node1.example.com'

# good
@primary_node = 'node1.example.com'

FlaggedTerms: { whitelist: { Regex: !ruby/regexp '/white[-_\s]?list' } }

# Identify problematic terms using a Regexp

# bad
white_list = %w(user1 user2)

# good
allow_list = %w(user1 user2)

FlaggedTerms: { master: { AllowedRegex: 'master\'?s degree' } }

# Specify allowed uses of the flagged term as a string or regexp.

# bad
# They had a masters

# good
# They had a master's degree

FlaggedTerms: { slave: { WholeWord: true } }

# Specify that only terms that are full matches will be flagged.

# bad
Slave

# good (won't be flagged despite containing {slave})

::RuboCop::Cop::RangeHelp - Included

#add_range, #column_offset_between,
#contents_range

A range containing only the contents of a literal with delimiters (e.g.

#directions,
#effective_column

Returns the column attribute of the range, except if the range is on the first line and there’s a byte order mark at the beginning of that line, in which case 1 is subtracted from the column value.

#final_pos, #move_pos, #move_pos_str, #range_between, #range_by_whole_lines, #range_with_comments, #range_with_comments_and_lines, #range_with_surrounding_comma, #range_with_surrounding_space, #source_range

::RuboCop::Cop::Base - Inherited

#add_global_offense

Adds an offense that has no particular location.

#add_offense

Adds an offense on the specified range (or node with an expression) Unless that offense is disabled for this range, a corrector will be yielded to provide the cop the opportunity to autocorrect the offense.

#begin_investigation

Called before any investigation.

#callbacks_needed,
#cop_config

Configuration Helpers.

#cop_name, #excluded_file?,
#external_dependency_checksum

This method should be overridden when a cop’s behavior depends on state that lives outside of these locations:

#inspect,
#message

Gets called if no message is specified when calling add_offense or add_global_offense Cops are discouraged to override this; instead pass your message directly.

#name

Alias for Base#cop_name.

#offenses,
#on_investigation_end

Called after all on_…​

#on_new_investigation

Called before all on_…​

#on_other_file

Called instead of all on_…​

#parse

There should be very limited reasons for a Cop to do it’s own parsing.

#parser_engine,
#ready

Called between investigations.
